Review of Psycho Beach Party (2000) by Wayne D — 18 Apr 2008

Or Gidget Goes Nutso. Top fun, great cast headed up by Six Feet Under's Lauren Ambrose as the split personality surfer gal Chicklet (is she REALLY embarassed about this film? That's what I heard.

I hope not) and the intergallactic talent that is Charles Busch. There's also Buffy's Nicholas Brendon, Thomas Gibson and Aussie soap star Kimberely Davies in a ditzy movie star role she was born to play.

Everyone seems to be having great fun with the outrageous material (which was written by Busch and adapted from his stage play), and I certainly did too. Quotable, rewatchable and good fun.
